Chapter 959: This Justification Must Be Paid With Her Life

If Luosang’s subordinates had not been brought into the Palace, he could have had them killed to cover this up. That way, he could have given the excuse that Great Shang was trying to trap Luosang. If his sister refused to say a word about it, it would be difficult for Long Yang to sentence her with any crime.

However…

Lu Liangwei did not allow her subordinates to return to the coaching inn, but instead ordered for all of them to be detained at the Palace. This placed Wanyan Jin in a situation where he was unable to take any action.

He collected his thoughts and turned to Long Yang without any trace of emotion. “My dear sister has not learned her etiquettes and has ended up offending Her Highness. I beg of Your Majesty to give her a chance as she has grown up in Danjue since birth and has never really seen the world. I’ll make sure to discipline her properly once we return.”

Long Yang did not look at him, nor did he say a word. His gaze was always focused on Lu Liangwei.

The look in his eyes turned somewhat grim when he saw her standing there in thin clothes. He suddenly stood up and walked to her. He held her hand and pulled her to where he was.

Lu Liangwei was slightly surprised. She turned to look at the man’s indifferent expression and a fuzzy feeling welled inside of her.

No matter how much His Majesty voiced out his anger for her, his actions were always so considerate.

When he saw the small smile at the corner of her lips, Long Yang’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly and he finally turned his gaze away. The look in his eyes turned cold and distant when he looked toward Wanyan Jin.

“This matter isn’t as simple as just not knowing her etiquette. Princess Wanyan was brazen enough to attempt an assassination on the Empress. How could I simply ignore that? Where does Great Shang stand with Prince Wanyan when you make light of this situation to such an extent?”

His tone sounded nonchalant, but Wanyan Jin could feel a great intimidating pressure pressing onto him.

His heart sank but he forced himself to maintain calm. “You use heavy words, Your Majesty. No matter how brazen Luosang is, she would never dare to assassinate Her Highness. I think there must be some sort of misunderstanding here. Luosang, why are you still not apologizing to Her Highness?”

Wanyan Luosang was not willing to apologize to Lu Liangwei, but she was not stupid. What happened today was quite serious and when your life was hanging by a thread, pride meant nothing.

Wanyan Luosang did not hesitate at all. She immediately turned to Lu Liangwei to apologize. “Your Highness, I…”

Lu Liangwei immediately lifted her hand to stop her. “Don’t. I can’t accept such a gesture from Princess Wanyan. I’m the Empress of the country and I represent the dignity of Great Shang. It’s enough that you have offended me in the past, but today, you went so far as to try assassinating me. Even if I was big-hearted enough to let you off, the people of Great Shang, as well as our ministers and officials, would not agree to it.”

Wanyan Luosang was stunned to the spot, and she gave Lu Liangwei a deathly stare.

“Princess Wanyan attempted to assassinate the Empress in front of the public eye. Don’t you think you should give me and the people of Great Shang some justification for this, Prince Wanyan?” Long Yang’s voice was so cold that it was chilling.

No matter how silly Wanyan Luosang was, even she was able to tell that Long Yang was forcing her big brother to give him a satisfactory answer.

This justification… must be paid with her life…

When she realized this, a ghastly gray appeared on Wanyan Luosang’s face as she stared at Wanyan Jin, begging silently.

She did not want to die. She did not want to die in a foreign country.

Wanyan Jin knew what Long Yang wanted. His fists clenched as his heart sank further.

He suddenly found the sight of the Emperor and Empress sitting together quite sore to the eyes. His eyes closed slightly as he considered how to counter this before saying, “Luosang is young and does not know the way of the world, causing Her Highness to suffer a shock. I am willing to give up Danjue’s gold mine as a token of apology to Her Highness.”

Lu Liangwei was a little surprised at this.

She had not expected Wanyan Jin to care about Wanyan Luosang so much. He was even willing to give up the gold mine to protect her.

If the gold mine was real, it was well worth exchanging it for Wanyan Luosang’s life.

However, this would still depend mainly on His Majesty’s decision.

After all, Wanyan Luosang had also manipulated Zhi’er to poison His Majesty.
